Colorado’s school wish list for 2025
Boosts to reading, reduced truancy on Board of Educations New Year agenda
BY MELANIE ASMAR CHALKBEAT
Slashing chronic absenteeism rates, boosting third grade reading scores, and ensuring high school graduates earn college credit or work experience alongside their diplomas are among the Colorado Department of Education’s new strategic goals. e department has set ve “wildly important goals” it aims to achieve over the next several years. Other state agencies, including the Colorado Department of Early Childhood Education, are setting similar goals. Together, they represent some of the state’s biggest public policy priorities.
Education Commissioner Susana Córdova said her department’s goals are meant to address some of the 880,000-student system’s thorniest challenges. “Schools continue to face pandemic-related challenges including poor attendance, teacher shortages, and learning loss,” she told the Colorado State Board of Education last month.
Here’s a look at three of the department’s goals and the state’s progress toward meeting them.
Reduce chronic absenteeism
Goal: Cut chronic absenteeism to 15% of K-12 students by the 2027-28 school year.
Progress: In the 2023-24 school year, 27.7% of students were chronically absent.
A student is considered chronically absent if they miss 10% or more of the school days in a school year, or approximately 18 days. Chronic absenteeism is a problem because students who miss a lot of school can fall behind academically and nd it hard to catch up.
Weld
Cases coming out of the cold, thanks to DNA
detective helping families uncover what happened to loved ones
BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
One case that is always at the top of the mind for Weld County cold case Detective Byron Kastilahn is that of Nicole Silvers, a Longmont teen who disappeared 11 years ago in April.
Silvers’ sister had dropped her o at her Longmont home at 3 a.m. on April 9, 2014, and that’s the last time she was seen.
A roommate checked on her two days later and found all of her belongings gone. A missing juvenile report was made three days after that and local police, including Weld County, talked to her friends and family.
Nothing suspicious has ever turned up, and Kastilahn said that bothers him.
“ is case doesn’t make any sense,” said Kastilahn. “Like most cases, it could be drug-related, or a spouse did it. I can’t prove it. is one could be an abduction, or maybe she ran away, and then something happened.
“It’s a strange one. In this case, I’d like to nd out what happened,” he said.
Kastilahn, who joined Weld County’s cold case unit in 2020, has many cases just like Silvers. But this year, he has had some remarkable successes using DNA testing to solve four longstanding, complex cases – one dating back to 1973.
In June 2024, Weld County announced they had identi ed a man found in a eld in Greeley on Valentine’s Day 2000. An autopsy of the human remains found no evidence of foul play, according to o cials. Deputies labeled the man John Doe 2000, and the case went cold until 2023. at’s when DNA tests came back and were later conrmed to identify him as Christopher Scott Case, who had been missing since 1998.
In November, they used DNA to unravel what had happened to Kay Day. She had been murdered in 1979, found strangled in the back of her Datsun hatchback with the belt from her own coat. Investigators focused on her husband Chuck Day but could never settle the case.
What happened to Kay Day –and to Chuck, as it turned out – would remain a mystery until 2021.
A DNA test from the autopsy’s sexual assault kit turned up a match on the national DNA database belonging to James Herman Dye in Wichita, Kans. Dye had a history of sexual assaults and was a student at Aims Community College in 1979 who had attended classes in the building where Kay Day worked.
When confronted by Kastilahn and the FBI, Dye confessed.
“I was glad to see the DNA evidence identi ed the real suspect and cleared Chuck Day’s name,” said Kastilahn at the time. “It gives me hope that our other cold cases may receive similar breakthroughs needed to deliver the answers and the justice the victim’s families so rightfully deserve.”
en in December, the department announced a break in one of their coldest cases, a young girl who had been found along the St. Vrain River west of Platteville in 1973. DNA results identify those remains as belonging to Roxanne Leadbeater, a 15-yearold girl who had disappeared in 1972 from Los Angeles.
Kastilahn said the department is still investigating the circumstances of her death.
“It makes me feel great when I do solve these cases,” Kastilahn said.
A third route
Kastilahn was born in Pueblo, raised in Southeastern Kansas, and returned to Colorado when he was 19. After high school, he became interested in joining the FBI.
“To be an FBI agent, you need a degree in either law or accounting, and neither interested me,” Kastilahn said.
“But there’s a third route you can go, where you can go to college and get any degree and then become a police o cer or some law enforcement career. If I did that for a few years, and then with the degree and the experience in police work, you can become an FBI agent,” Kastilahn said. “So that was my plan.”
Kastilahn attended Colorado State University and earned a
degree in social sciences with a criminal justice interdisciplinary degree, then started a job as a student o cer at Colorado State University.
“My rst job in the 1990s was with the Brighton police department. As a police o cer, I like this quite a bit. I enjoyed working in patrol much more than I thought I would, but I thought it was just a means to an end,” he said.
But Kastilahn learned that the work he was doing as a police o cer was much the same as what FBI agents do, just closer to where he wanted to be.
“It’s more local,” he said, “I’d be sent to Washington, D.C., and Quantico and then get assigned to Vermont or somewhere. I liked living in Colorado, so it made sense to stay in law enforcement here. I’ve always been in Northern Colorado.”
Kastilahn said he had admired the Weld County Sheri ’s O ce.
“I’d interacted with several deputies and detectives on cases, and I found the Weld County Sheri ’s O ce very professional and well-organized. ey do excellent work. So I wanted to be part of that,” Kastilahn said.
Into the cold
Kastilahn said he’s been working for the Weld County Sheri ’s O ce since 2019. He became a regular detective in 2020 for about two months and then became the cold case detective in March 2020.
“ e sheri wanted to have a cold case detective at the o ce, which they didn’t have, and he wanted to do it for a long time,” Kastilahn said. “When the position came up, I said I’d like to try
that.”
What interested Kastilahn about the cold cases was that each was something di erent. “I had specialized in computer crime for a while. I have done a lot of property crimes, such as fraud, thefts, signi cant thefts, and other cases,” Kastilahn said. “I also investigated crimes with people from child sex assault to homicide, but a cold case was something I never even had an opportunity to look at.”
Matching DNA
Kastilahn’s success has depended upon DNA testing. Samples from crime scenes are submitted to the national combined DNA information system, or CODIS.
“If you have DNA from a scene, you can send it to a lab, and they’ll see if it matches somebody with a felony record. With CODIS, if you were convicted of a felony, they would have to provide DNA swabs and have your DNA in the system that is nationwide,” Kastilahn said.
According to o cials, by the 1990s, the genetic ngerprinting of molecular structures of victims and suspects was used in criminal investigations worldwide. Today, RFLP-based DNA analysis is being replaced with newer genetic identi cation techniques.
Kastilahn said that law enforcement has solved more cases with DNA, but there are still plenty to sort through. Since Kastilahn started in 2020, they have had a backlog of 40 cases in Weld County alone.
Keeping cases open
Some cases need ongoing in-
vestigation, Kastilahn said. Some of those are homicides. e instances that lack information are kept active just in case further information or evidence is found.
For example, Kastilahn said he’s looked more deeply into some tra c accidents. Although there may be other suspicious facts surrounding the accident, all the evidence demonstrates that’s all it was.
In one case, a woman su ering from a terminal disease fell down a set of stairs in 1986. She was injured and died from the fall, but the case remained under investigation.
“ at case stayed open because there was a history of domestic violence,” Kastilahn said. “You know, the husband says he was out shing, but let’s keep it open just in case. He had an alibi. He had a friend with them.” at said, Kastilahn is a fan of keeping tabs on it.
“I think it’s a good idea to keep the case open until you can guarantee it should be closed because it’s unfounded.”

NAR’s 2024 Survey of Buyers and Sellers Provides Some Interesting Insights on the Market
Every year the National Association of Realtors (NAR) publishes a “Profile of Buyers and Sellers” which contains some useful data and insights on the real estate market.
The 2024 survey was just released and contains some interesting trends which I’ll summarize here.
The image at right is an example. In the posting of this week’s ad at http://RealEstateToday.substack.com you’ll find the full highlights of the report on the following topics:
Characteristics of home buyers
Breakdown of homes purchased
Use of real estate professionals
The home search process
How homes are being financed
The experience of home sellers
Use of listing agents by sellers
For Sale by Owner statistics and trends
Here’s just one of those highlight pages, to give you an idea the detail provided. This is the one about FSBOs (for sale by owner):
Here are some of the key take-aways from the other chapters;
Characteristics of Home Buyers: The median age of home buyers surged in 2024 over the prior year — 56 vs. 49. The median age for first-time buyers jumped from 35 to 38, and for repeat buyers jumped from 58 to 61. 73% of buyers had no children under 18 in the home, and 17% bought a multi-generational home. First-time home buyers constituted 24% of home sales, down from 32% in 2023. This was the lowest percentage since NAR started doing these surveys in 1981.
Characteristics of Homes Purchased: 15% of buyers purchased new homes from a builder. Among those who purchased existing
homes, the typical home was built in 1994, compared to homes built in the 1980s in two prior surveys. The typical home was 1,900 square feet, with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The median distance of the new home from the previous home was 20 miles, compared to 50 miles in 2022. (That was the height of Covid, spurred by remote work.) PreCovid, the median distance was typically 15 miles. 16% of 2024 buyers purchased in an urban area or central city, the highest such percentage since 2014, spurred perhaps by the end of some work-at-home arrangements. Proximity to the home buyer’s job was important to 34% of buyers, down from 52% in 2014. The top consideration this year was the quality of the neighborhood (59%), followed by proximity to friends and family (45%).
Home Buyers & Real Estate Professionals:
88% of home buyers used the services of a real estate agent. Looking at buyers of existing homes, that percentage rose to 92%. Only 63% of new home buyers were represented by an agent. 80% of first-time buyers said that their agent’s assistance in understanding the home buying process was “invaluable.”
40% of all buyers and 51% of first-time buyers found their agent through a referral from their friends, family or personal network. Most buyers only interviewed one agent — it was 71% for repeat buyers.
Although 88% of buyers said they would use their agent again or recommend him/her to others, only 21% of buyers actually used the same agent they had used before. Of those who purchased in 2024, 61% have already recommended their agent to others.
The Home Search Process: 43% of buyers said they started the process by looking at homes on the internet, with 21% first contacting an agent. 69% of buyers searched for homes on their mobile or tablet devices.
Open houses were deemed “very useful” by 23% of buyers. About 40% said they valued photos and detailed listing information, while 31% appreciated floor plans. The typical buyer spent 10 weeks house hunting and saw a median of 7 homes, 2 of them online only. 51% found the home they bought through their own online searching. 55% said that finding the right home was the most difficult part of the process.
59% of buyers said they were “very satisfied” with their home buying experience, and another 33% were “somewhat satisfied.”
Financing the Home Purchase: 91% of first-time buyers and 69% of repeat buyers financed their home purchase with a loan. These percentages were down from 92% and 81% respectively from last year. The overall percentage was 74%, meaning that 26% of all home buyers paid cash — an all-time high.
The median down payment was 9% for first-time buyers and 23% for repeat buyers, That’s the highest down payment percentage for first-time buyers since 1997 and the highest for repeat buyers since 2003. 25% of the first-time buyers used a gift or loan from a
relative to finance their down payment, but savings was the biggest source at 69%.
In 2009, 55% of first-time buyers used an FHA loan, but that has dropped to 29% now that there are many conventional loan offerings requiring minimal down payments and no mortgage insurance premium. In 2024, 52% of first-time buyers took out a conventional loan.
Home Sellers and Their Selling Experience:
The median age of home sellers in 2024 was 63 — the highest ever recorded. 69% of the sellers were married couples, the first increase in this statistic in four years. Of all the homes sold in 2024, 77% did not have any children
under 18 living in the house -- empty nesters! 66% moved within the same state, 16% within the same region. (Note: These are national statistics.) Roughly one-third bought a bigger house, one-third bought the same size house and one-third bought a smaller house. 52% bought a newer home, with the rest split equally between the same age or older home.
The single most common reason for moving (23%) was to be closer to friends and family. The median number of years that a seller owned their home was 10 years, a big drop from 6 years in 2000 to 2008.
Median time on market in 2024 was three weeks, up from two weeks in 2023.
68% of sellers were “very satisfied” with the selling process. 22% were “somewhat satisfied.”
Home Selling & Real Estate Professionals: 90% of sellers hired a listing agent, up from 89% in 2023. Only 6% were FSBO (for sale by owner), a record low percentage. Of those sellers who did not know the buyer, 95% used a real estate agent. Two-thirds of sellers used an agent who was referred to them or that they had used before. 81% interviewed only the one agent they hired. 71% of sellers who bought within 10 miles of their home used the same agent for both transactions. The most important criteria in selecting the listing agent were the agent’s reputation (35%) and the agent’s honesty (21%). 58% of sellers offered open houses.

Is a Reverse Mortgage the Best Option for You?
If the idea of not paying principal and interest for the rest of your life and possibly drawing a lump sum from your home’s equity to help you with taxes and insurance, sounds like something you’d like to explore, let me tell you about “reverse mortgages.” They are officially known as Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM). They can be used to purchase a home or to refinance your current home.
Many seniors are in a situation where they have substantial equity in their home but don’t have quite the amount of income they need to live on day-to-day or month-tomonth. If you are still paying on your mortgage, a HECM allows you to reduce that monthly expense by the amount of your principal and interest payment. That alone may be enough to improve your monthly cash flow, but you can also draw on your surplus equity to have additional money for living expenses or discretionary expenditures such as travel.
If downsizing is in your plans, the HECM can also be used to purchase a home that better fits your senior lifestyle.
Here’s the nitty gritty. You have to be 62 or older to qualify for a HECM. The amount of down payment or equity you need to have is based on your age and life expectancy, because the lender wants to know that you’ll outlive the equity which is going to be used up by not paying principal and interest until you die.
That down payment requirement (or equity requirement if you are refinancing into a HECM) ranges from 45% to 70%. A HECM
loan is FHA insured, which covers the possibility that you live longer than expected and drain all your equity by not paying those monthly principal and interest payments. When you die or move out, the home can be sold, and the FHA insurance means that the proceeds of the sale don’t need to cover the mortgage payoff.
If you’re married, only one of you needs to be over 62, and if the qualifying senior dies, the surviving spouse can remain in the house until he or she dies, even if that means the equity is exhausted.
You retain title to the house, just like with a conventional mortgage. You can sell at any time and pay off the loan balance with your proceeds at closing.
Because it’s an FHA loan, the closing costs of the HECM loan are greater than for a conventional loan, but, depending on your cash flow situation, it may be worth it.
Eligible property types include 1-4 unit properties, so long as you live in one of the units. It can include FHA-approved condos and townhomes, and properties that are titled in a living trust.
If you’re purchasing a home with a HECM, the seller can provide a concession for up to 6% of the purchase price to cover those higher closing costs.
If you’re not a senior but have parents who own their own home but are struggling with monthly expenses, you might want to explore with them the benefits of a reverse mortgage.

Safe parking e ort runs out of money
CSPI worked to let homeless shelter in their vehicles overnight
BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A program that drew volunteers, local faith communities and governments into an e ort to o er safe places for people sheltering in their vehicles is shutting down.
Despite its closure after COVID-19-related funding dried up, the Colorado Safe Parking Initiative helped bring to light the struggles of metro-area residents who lived in their cars, trucks and vans after they were forced out of their homes, a co-founder of the initiative said.
“I would say, in general, the experience and needs of unhoused people have been more prioritized since the pandemic,” CSPI Executive Director Terrell Curtis said via email.
“More speci cally, in the nearly ve years CSPI has operated, we have elevated the experience and needs of people relegated to sheltering in their
vehicle because existing resources don’t meet their speci c needs. In our experience, communities across metro Denver have embraced and adopted a safe parking model and realized the success that brings to people who can stabilize and move on to appropriate housing solutions,” Curtis said.
“Safe parking is recognized across the Front Range, and elsewhere in the state, as a safe, simple, e cient and cost-e ective intervention for this unique population,” added Curtis.
CSPI will cease operations on Dec. 31.
CSPI was formed ve years ago after a group of volunteers and local faith communities came together to gure out how to provide safe places for people sheltering in their vehicles to park overnight, according to a CSPI news release.
Relying on funding related to COVID-19 recovery — including the American Rescue Plan Act — CSPI grew to offer “safe lots” in ve counties: Je erson, Denver, Broom eld, Adams, Arapahoe/ Aurora.
More than 100 people slept safely every night, formed communities, and found
their way into stable living situations and the organization’s central operations were supported by government funds, according to the news release.
But available government funding is no longer su cient to support operations of the Colorado Safe Parking Initiative, and CSPI o cials do not expect that situation to improve in the coming years.
“ e federal government considers people living in their vehicles to be unhoused. As a result, many city and county governments have diverted funding from safe parking to programs that immediately move people into housing or indoor shelter,” the news release states.
CSPI’s many partners will continue to operate in partnership with nonpro t and government partners in their communities. In this way, the work of safe parking continues in Metro Denver, and we are working with them so they can be set up for success, according to the CSPI news release.
e lots that have been part of the CSPI program that are expectec to continue offering services include 11 churches, e Salvation Army (which hosts one lot in
Adams County), and a lot on a private commercial parking lot that will be supported by Almost Home in Adams County, Curtis said. e need for some form of stable housing is still there, Curtis said.
CSPI received more than 1,700 calls for help last year and at least 799 people in the Denver Metro area have been identied as living in vehicles, Curtis said in the email.
“In the four short years since our founding, CSPI is proud to have demonstrated the e ectiveness of safe parking as a community-based intervention for those experiencing homelessness and living in their vehicles,” Curtis said.
“We are so grateful to all of our government, nonpro t, and faith community partners, and especially to the generous donors who supported this vital work,” the news release states.
“Together, genuine change came for hundreds of families,” according to CSPI. “Additionally, CSPI could not have even been created without the support and generosity of our scal sponsor, e Barton Institute for Community Action.”
Westminster approves a ordable senior housing plan
Council approves a $1 sale for Aster Place to cater to low-income housing rent guidelines
BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A rst-of-its-kind a ordable housing development aimed at seniors in down-
town Westminster is on its way after the city council this month approved a purchase and sale agreement of $1.
e council agreed to sell the land to develop the Aster Place A ordable Hous-
ing Senior project which is bordered by 90th Avenue, Eaton Street, 91st Place and Fenton Street.
e parcel – which has an estimated value of $306,500 – is being sold by the city for $1. e city will also provide fee waivers and rebates of $628,515 while also paying for a portion of streetscape improvements around the property, according to a sta report to the council.
In exchange, Volker Development Inc. will build the $24 million project and include 24 one-bedroom apartments and 25 two-bedroom apartments.
e development would provide affordable rents at 30% to 80% of the Jefferson County Area Media Income, or AMI– between $31,320 and $83,520 for a couple, according to the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority. Area median income is de ned as the midpoint of a speci c area’s income distribution and is calculated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, according to HUD.
It is also a key indicator of low-income housing in an area. In the Aster development, eight of the units will be o ered at 30% of the AMI, 14 units at 50% AMI, 14 units at 60% AMI, and the remaining 14 units at 80% of AMI.
At 30% AMI, a one-person household
making $27,390 will pay $733 in rent; a two-person household $31,320 earning will pay $880 in rent, according to the sta report.
Volker, the developer, plans on applying to the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority for an allocation of federal 9% low-income housing credit and state affordable housing tax credits.
e development will be the rst for a ordable senior housing in downtown Westminster and adds a critical xture for the city, say o cials.
“We need this type of stock,” Councilmember David DeMott said. “ e silver tsunami is here.”
He pointed to a recent resident survey which said many people don’t feel they can a ord to retire in Westminster because of the price of housing. “I’m glad we are adding this stock to the city.”
“ ere is one resounding message we hear all the time – we need more a ordable senior housing in this city,” added Councilmember Claire Carmelia. “ is will put a dent in the need.”
Councilmember Kristine Ireland was the lone dissenting vote for approving the purchase and sale agreement to Volker.
“I do think there is a housing need for this,” Ireland said. “ e rest of the agreement is too open-ended for me.”

WISH LIST
“If they’re not there, I don’t care how great your instruction is, how great your building is, how many programs you have,” State Board of Education member Lisa Escárcega said at a meeting this week while discussing the goals. “If they’re not there, they can’t learn.”
Chronic absenteeism has always been an issue, but it was made worse by the pandemic. Schools across the country have struggled to improve student attendance in the years since. While some are seeing success, absenteeism rates largely remain higher than they were before COVID. at’s true in Colorado. e state’s chronic absenteeism rate hit a high of 35.5% in the 2021-22 school year. It was a huge jump from before the pandemic, when the rate ranged from 18% to 24%.
Colorado is one of several states that
have signed on to an ambitious pledge to cut chronic absenteeism by half over a ve-year period. e department’s goal of a 15% chronic absenteeism rate would be a big improvement on the pre-pandemic rate.
e department has already launched a statewide campaign called “Every School Day Matters!” According to the website, more than 30 districts and schools have signed on. e department hopes 80% of Colorado’s 178 districts will agree to participate by next October.
e department also aims to increase training for educators and grow the number of visitors to a website with guidance and resources for school sta on how to foster a sense of student well-being and belonging in their schools — an element that students say is important.
Increase third grade reading scores
Goal: 60% of third graders will meet or exceed state expectations in literacy by 2028.
Progress: In 2024, 42% of third graders met that bar on the state literacy test.
ird grade is considered a key year for reading. Some studies have shown that students who can’t read pro ciently by third grade are less likely to graduate from high school.
Colorado tests students in grades 3-11 in reading, writing, and math each spring. e tests for third graders are called Colorado Measures of Academic Success, or CMAS.
Student test scores plummeted during the pandemic and are now climbing back up. Colorado’s third grade reading scores were actually slightly higher in 2024 than they were in 2019 before the pandemic. But state o cials say the state still has work to do.
State Board of Education members emphasized the importance of helping students early.
“I’ve heard teachers say, ‘Don’t worry about your kid. ey’ll get it later on. It’ll come to them,’” said board member Angelika Schroeder. “Folks, it doesn’t come to a lot of kids.”
Colorado has never come close to 60% of third graders meeting or exceeding expectations in literacy since it rolled out the CMAS tests in 2015. Córdova called this goal “very ambitious.”
To get there, the department plans to o er more training to educators and ensure more school districts are using what it calls “high quality instructional materials.”
e department also plans to redesign its awards to “celebrate schools with strong results.”
Boost postsecondary readiness
Goal: 100% of the Class of 2029 will have earned 12 college credits, a nondegree credential, or participated in a work-based learning opportunity.
Progress: e state doesn’t currently track this metric in this way.
Colorado has for several years been focused on a concept called the “big blur,” which refers to blurring the line between
high school and students’ next steps. At its simplest, it’s an attempt to better prepare high school graduates for college or the workforce.
Dual enrollment programs, which allow students to take college-level classes in high school, have become wildly popular. Dual-enrolled high school students now account for nearly half of the students at Colorado’s community colleges. But most dual-enrolled students leave high school with only a few college credits. e department wants to drastically increase that number.
O cials also want to increase the number of students earning non-degree credentials that would allow them to work in high-demand elds, such as health care or early childhood education.
And they want to boost the number of students participating in apprenticeships, on-the-job training, internships, and other work-based learning experiences.
Colorado has a host of programs meant to accomplish these goals. But the system is fragmented and confusing, with di erent programs overseen by di erent departments. e programs also have di ering amounts of funding from the state and buy-in from school districts. A new report commissioned by state lawmakers includes recommendations for improvements, some of which may be taken up by policymakers in the upcoming legislative session. e department also wants to increase the number of school districts participating in training sessions about postsecondary workforce readiness and the number that are including postsecondary workforce readiness strategies in their required improvement plans.

Westminster updates homelessness policies
City sets aside money, sets freezing temps as threshold
for help
BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Over $1.1 million will be set aside next year for e orts to shelter the homeless in Westminster, the bulk of which will go for vouchers at local hotels when the outside temperature dips to 32 degrees during bad weather conditions.
In total, $325,000 will go to provide Bridge Housing for those who have received housing vouchers and are actively searching for suitable permanent housing. People in bridge housing can wait as long as eight months to get stable housing, according to a city sta report to the council.
Another $790,000 is allocated for access to hotel rooms when it is 32 degrees Fahrenheit or below with outdoor “wet conditions.” e city’s temperature parameters are consistent with the temperature thresholds both Adams and Broom eld counties use for their severe activation programs, the city report states.
Humane
Most of the city council voted Tuesday for the funding, which allows the city’s Homeless Navigators to spend up to $1,115,000 cumulatively at various hotels for sheltering, bridge housing and cold weather stays in 2025, even if the total authorized expenditure exceeds $50,000 annually at any hotel.
“I am excited about this,” Councilor Claire Carmelia said Monday. “ is brings us up to the standards in Adams and Broom eld counties. It is a more humane measure that means our residents won’t pass away on a cold night.” Carmelia said it will also reduce the begging and homeless encampments in the city. “It’s the right thing to do. It’s not an either-or situation,” she said. “It’s the right thing to do.”

How does a weary world rejoice?
This has been the theme of our pastor’s sermons at church during the Advent season; a time of waiting. While she focused on the coming birth of Jesus Christ, I want to change the focus to today’s world with all of its strife, war, hunger, lack of trust and racial inequity.
How does a weary world rejoice with all the negativity, uncertainty, political games and skewed priorities of the political party in control? Well, maybe we simply face the truth and conclude there is not room or justi cation to rejoice and be happy or optimistic. at would be a sad day for the world indeed.
Personally, I do worry about our future especially for our grown children and grandchildren. Global warming is making a major impact on our climate, the expanding droughts worldwide and less crop production to feed the world. Water is becoming more and more scarce. More and more people are falling into food insecurity and can’t nd housing that they can a ord.
ings are not going to get so much cheaper - such as building materials, insurance and food -to solve such problems nationally or internationally.
We have wars continuing to rob society of being able to feed, clothe and provide an adequate space for them to live while creating more destruction and famine. So, what is the solution?
We, as the world has, need to learn to do more with less and to share more between the “Have’s” and the Have Not’s. We must have faith to carry on hope for better times; a better place; a better opportunity. It’s a very piecemeal situation. No silver bullets are to be found. While non-pro ts and governments will need to feed more people over time and the same groups will be stepping up to provide more so-called a ordable housing, we must be realistic that the poor will always be with us. e Bible reminds us of that.
NIMBYism needs to be replaced with a spirit of “what is best for the most.” Cutting budgets to reduce health care, food distribution and subsidizing housing is not the way to reduce the problem. It’s
walking away from the problem.
Senior a ordable housing coming to Westy downtown
Interstate highways have transformed Colorado and America altogether.
People growing up in the 1950s rarely had fresh fruit or vegetables in winter. Now, broccoli beheaded yesterday in a eld near Yuma, Ariz., can be on a store shelf in metro Denver within a day or two. Much of that journey will be on an interstate highway.
High-voltage transmission lines are our four-lane highways of electricity. ey worked well enough when giant coal plants provided most of our electricity. Now, as Colorado and other states strive to replace fossil fuels with renewables, new con-
While we are weary, we must keep on keeping on. If we don’t, who will step into our shoes?
Let’s practice the Golden Rule more often. Let’s walk in the shoes of others who are less fortunate. Keep the faith and not allow the burden to take us down. Like the song lyrics, “walk on, walk on with hope in your heart and you’ll never walk alone.” Let’s walk together.
Early Christmas gift for joint budget committee
We all like positive surprises regardless of who we are or the circumstances of the surprise. Well, Colorado’s Joint Budget Committee (JBC) received a pleasant update on projected scal year ending revenues.
Previously, they were straddled with the challenge of lling an approximate $1 billion shortfall in the current 2024-2025 scal year.
But now, the recent revised revenue projection leaves a gap of $674 million.
Hey, a hundred million here; a hundred million there and before you know it, the gap will be resolved.
However, as previously stated, there are some tough love decisions to be made by the JBC. ere are no magic solutions or rabbits to pull out of the hat. We are talking U.S. dollar cuts where few if any state departments will escape the chopping block.
I still believe K-12 education funds will have to be reduced as well as higher education expenditures. Furthermore, MEDICAID will take a haircut, but hopefully not too much. Don’t be surprised if the homestead tax break on property taxes for seniors goes out the window.
So, with this budget dilemma, the JBC will in essence be doing two budgets - the current budget adjustment plus the 20252026 budget. Now, that is heavy lifting and I doubt that anyone will be unscathed.
e Westminster Economic Development Authority (Westminster’s urban renewal authority) voted 6-1, with Councilor Ireland opposed, to sell city owned land bounded between 90th and 91st Avenues and between Eaton and Fenton Streets to Volker Development Inc. for affordable, senior apartments.
ere are to be 25 one-bedroom units, 25 two-bedroom units plus 3,000 square feet of community space.
Using tax credits, the developer plans to o er rents of 30%, 50%, 60% and 80% of Area Median Income (AMI). e parcel of land, valued at $306,500, was authorized to be sold to Volker at one dollar to help make the project feasible.
e $24 million development is in compliance with the city’s Downtown Westminster zoning and density requirements. Rents are projected to run from $733 (one bedroom)/$880 (two bedrooms) at the low end to $1,957 (one bedroom)/$2,348 (two bedrooms) at the high end.
While these rental gures seem high to me for “a ordable” housing, they are indicative of the marketplace and the cost of construction materials. Certainly, more a ordable, senior housing is needed in Westminster.
e 50 units will be a small addition to tackling the housing problem.
When are enough gasoline service stations in a single city?
We could throw in how many Walgreen’s stores or liquor stores are enough, but today’s challenge is service stations.
It’s an interesting question that both the Cities of Denver and Lakewood have recently brought to the forefront. e City of Louisville got the ball rolling in Colorado in 2023 with a hard cap of six service stations for a community of 20,000.
For Lakewood, the question pertains to 52 service stations for a city of 156,000 residents. e council has included car washes in their thinking with the same limitations as the service stations.
It’s interesting to note the di erence in the justi cations given by council
We need interstate highways for electricity
members from each of the cities. Basically, Lakewood’s focus is to prevent any further environmental impacts from gasoline and diesel fuel being dispensed including fumes which escape during ll-ups.
On the other hand, Denver Councilmember Paul Kashman, who is leading the e ort to cap service stations, says that preserving land for a ordable housing is his motivation. To me, that is a dubious justi cation. How many times does a corner lot at an intersection come into play for an apartment development site? Saving a corner lot avoiding another service station is not going to make or break having another apartment complex at that location.
Neither city quoted speci c data about the number of environmental impacts generated service stations. Are we jousting windmills here or simply don’t want more service stations.
I will take a chapter from the Colorado liquor laws here to make a point: Remember the argument to allow wine in grocery stores? It was all about convenience. Well, if you restrict the location of service stations, won’t you be impacting the convenience to the motoring public? Personally, I can’t get too excited about restricting service stations.
Avoiding a government shut down but without Trump mandate
Fellow Americans, we just got a preview of what could well happen from time to time with a tug of war between President-elect Donald Trump and the soon to be Republican-controlled Congress after January 20.
As usual, it took an eleventh hour effort in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives to pass a temporary spending bill with the Senate concurring in the wee hours. at part is “old hat.”
What was quite intriguing was the House bill did NOT ultimately include Trump’s mandate to raise the debt ceiling. He badly wanted this solved on Biden’s watch and not his.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
CD8 spending was wasted
nections must be built to knit us together across broader areas. A federal agency this week delivered cause for cautious optimism.
e Department of Energy has picked three transmission corridors among 10 national candidates for advanced work.
One of them, the Southwestern Grid Connector Corridor, would begin in southeast Colorado near Lamar, and
work south into New Mexico and then somewhat west.
e 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law authorized the Secretary of Energy to designate any geographic area as a national interest electric transmission corridor. e energy department has found that the absence of transmission harms consumers. With more transmission, we can share low-cost renewable generation across broader areas. We need an electric grid larger than one weather system and covering more than one-time zone.
e existing transmission network is akin to our highways of 50 to 60 years ago. We have transmission, but it’s as
if Interstate 70 stopped at the state line. In fact, transmission lines do. Colorado is in the Western electrical grid of 10 states and some adjoining areas. is grid, however, is better understood as a collection of 34 di erent islands connected by narrow causeways.
“A cautious hurrah,” said Mark Gabriel, the CEO of United Power when I asked his reaction. e Brightonbased electrical cooperative supplies 113,000 members from the foothills to Weld County’s oil and gas elds, including many new industrial centers along I-76.
Re the December 19 Northglenn ornton Sentinel article, “Final price tag of race in CD8: $40 million.”
I shake my head resignedly. We have thousands in our communities who are homeless, hungry, lacking in health care, despairing; yet we spend $40 million to buy a House of Representatives election. e waste is even more tragic when considering the millions for advertising that deserved to immediately go into the trash (or otherwise be ignored) since what is demonstrated by two-party winner-takeall political advertising is that neither candidate deserves to represent us. But such is the state of our political system until we acknowledge that the in uence of money in our elections is contrary to the values of our democracy, and until we institute reforms, such as Ranked Choice Voting, to shine light into the pitfall of what poorly equates to elections by the people.

“Anything that promotes additional transmission is a good thing,” said Gabriel. “However, the challenge remains in actually getting something constructed in a reasonable period of time to make a di erence.”
Gabriel pointed out that more than $40 billion in transmission projects have been announced. “Only a fraction are actually being built.”
Permitting has been the bane of many transmission projects. For example, it took 18 years before the TransWest Express Transmission project that will ferry wind-generated electricity from southern Wyoming to Utah and West Coast markets nally broke ground in 2023. It nicks the corner of northwest Colorado.
A bill being negotiated in Congress would ease federal permitting requirements to allow more rapid creation of transmission lines. Other provisions of the Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024 would also bene t oil and gas extraction.
Tri-State Generation and Transmission, the wholesale provider for 17 of Colorado’s 22 electrical cooperatives, pointed to the need for streamlined permitting in its reaction to the transmission line in southeastern Colorado.
Transmission doesn’t come cheap. And just as interstate highways have their unsavory aspects — my companion and I can routinely hear I-70 roaring a mile away — transmission lines have their downsides. Who wants one in their backyard?

Mayor Nancy McNally and councilors David DeMott and Kristine Ireland voted against the expenditure, with DeMott and Ireland saying Westminster was being too generous with largely one-time funding for the sheltering as well as its temperature parameters.

DeMott said the 32-degree rule could invite people from outside of Westminster to take advantage of the program. “Where
City Council, while saying nice things about nuclear, intends to scrap a goal of 100% renewables by 2035. Maybe nuclear will be an answer, but recent projects have had eye-bulging costs. Natural gas has problems, too, as was evident in Winter Storm Uri of February 2021 when costs soared.
Chris Hansen, as a state legislator from Denver, sponsored key legislation to push transmission planning in Colorado. Now in Durango as CEO of La Plata Electric, he has started working on guiding his electrical cooperative to 97% emission-free electricity in the next decade. Transmission, he says, will be crucial. e capacity of existing transmission lines can be expanded by reconductoring and other technology. But we all together need to be better connected east and west, north and south.
One crucial question, says Hansen, is whether Denver-based Chris Wright, the choice of Donald Trump to be secretary of energy, will support continued transmission planning. His Colorado-based career has been in oil and gas. Wright sees renewables as a distant solution.
Southeastern Colorado brims with renewable energy potential. Baca County has Colorado’s best wind, according to a 2017 study by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

“ is such a regional issue, and if people are coming here to get shelter, we are just shifting the problem around,” DeMott said.
He said Westminster needs a comprehensive study on homelessness in the city, which includes people who “couch surf” with friends and family, live in their cars or simply do not want to seek shelter.
In Denver, emergency shelters will open when overnight lows drop to 25 degrees. e threshold in Longmont is 25 degrees when there is signi cant precipitation.
City spokesman Andy Le said the funding the council approved is for spending authority – not actual spending. Money spent on homeless sheltering in the past two years is well below what the city set aside, Le said via email.
In 2023, the total spent was $271,000 and $153,000 in 2024. “City council adjusted the temperature threshold for 2025 so we won’t know what the actual expenditure will be,” Le said.
Experts give insight on how to stick to your New Year’s resolutions
BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Afew years ago, Randi Smith received an Italian accordion as a gift from her husband.
For years, it had been her goal to learn how to play the instrument. She planned to start learning once she retired, but her husband encouraged her to start before that.
But, despite resolving each new year to become an accordion player, Smith still hasn’t learned to play.
“I set myself up, because my goal to learn to play the accordion — it wasn’t speci c enough, and it certainly wasn’t attainable enough,” she said. “Whatever I did have in my mind was a fantasy rather than an achievable, measurable, stepwise map towards progress. It was just like, ‘I’m gonna learn how to play the accordion this year!’”
Smith, a professor of psychological sciences at the Metropolitan State University of Denver, said her story is a common one. Research shows that people tend not to stick to
their New Year’s resolutions beyond a few weeks, with some articles stating the failure rate is as high as 80% by February. rough her research and her work as a licensed psychologist and a licensed clinical social worker, Smith has seen that many people do not achieve their goals for a variety of common reasons. Whether people are making New Year’s resolutions or setting goals at another time of year, there are tips everyone can keep in mind when aiming to build new habits.
One strategy, Smith said, is to set realistic and measurable goals. Unlike her goal to learn to play the accordion, she said good goals should be speci c, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. Many experts refer to these goals by the acronym “SMART.”
For learning to play the accordion, a smart goal could be to play 20 minutes per day, ve days per week and master the song “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” by February, Smith said.

RESOLUTIONS
“It’s speci c,” she said. “I think it’s achievable. It’s time-bound because it just gives me one month to get that far. And, I can certainly measure it and see whether I’ve been able to do that.”
Smith said it can also be helpful to write goals down. Putting goals on paper encourages the goal-setter to think about how to make the objective more structured, and also helps a person track their progress.
It’s critical, however, to make sure that you aren’t too hard on yourself if you falter, Smith said. She said one roadblock to reaching a goal is “developing this all-ornothing thinking around it.”
“As soon as there’s something that is not counted as success toward the goal, the person feels like, ‘I’m a failure, I blew it — better try again next year,’” she said. “Obviously, that’s not good, and that’s why so many resolutions fail within the rst couple weeks or couple months.”
Smith said many people think they need to be hard on themselves in order to keep themselves accountable, but that strategy can actually back re.
“Sadly, the inner-drill-sergeant approach doesn’t really work, because then failure seems so total,” she said. “ e truth of the matter is — and it’s born out in the research, and I certainly see it in my own psychotherapy practice — that you’re actually creating more space for success if (you choose) to be more exible and kind to yourself.”
Cindy Morris, a clinical psychologist, said there are also things to keep in mind when deciding which habits to build for yourself. She is the clinical director of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus’ Behavioral Health and Wellness Program, where her team
trains organizations around the country to help them help patients and clients change their behaviors.
Speci cally, her program trains healthcare organizations, mental health organizations and community and public health groups to help their clients live nicotinefree, practice self-care and improve sleep habits, nutrition, physical activity and more.
Morris said self-awareness is the most important step to changing behavior. First, she said it’s important to reect on your emotions, especially when you feel guilty or bad about something you have done or continue to do.
“It’s important to listen to it and see what the emotion is telling you,” she said. “Is it,‘I feel bad because I have a rule in my mind, a thought, a belief that tells me this is bad to do?’ or is it that it actually isn’t right for me? Once you get a sense of what’s going on — what is it that you want or don’t want — then you can focus more on the behavior.”
When a person decides they want to change a behavior or build a healthy habit, Morris said, it’s helpful to re ect on the triggers or cues that lead to the behavior they’re trying to change, what their current routine is and what the reward is.
“As people are aware of this kind of habit loop, then they can choose a new, di erent behavior, or di erent habit that they want to practice, and then they can replace the routine,” she said.
For example, if a person nds themself going to sleep late because they always stay up scrolling on their phone, they might recognize that this happens in the lull in the evening after they nish cleaning up from dinner, Morris said. ey might try to replace their mindless phone use at that time of night with reading a novel or taking a relaxing bath — something that can still let them get the reward of turning their brain o for a little bit before they go to sleep, without keeping them awake all night.
Morris said practice is an important part of habit-
“It just feels good to not only be thinking about yourself but to have other people in mind and wonder how they’re doing on what they wanted to be accountable towards.”
building.
“It’s not like anyone does anything like, say, plays a sport or something (and) the rst time you do it, you’re incredible and you’re going to the Olympics,” she said. “It’s incremental. And so, we want to be gentle with ourselves.”
Morris and Smith both said having social support is a helpful environment when you are practicing new habits.
“( ere’s) good empirical support for having social support when we’re working on a new goal,” Smith said. “If my goal is to lose 30 pounds in 2025, having a partner who is engaging with me — maybe somebody I meet with to have some regular exercise, or joining a support group to improve my nutrition and master my overeating... We know those things are helpful.”
For Lakewood resident Ty Preizler, having social support is helpful when working towards goals. at’s why he started the Denver Healthy Habits Accountability Group, a community for people to come together to support each other in building new habits.
“I nd that I’m I’m way more motivated when I know that there’s going to be a group of people in a few weeks that I’m going to sit there and talk with about this,” he said. “Just having that companionship makes it a lot easier to stick to to the habits that we want.”
His group, which he launched in October, generally meets once a month. ey discuss their goals and sometimes do guided meditations or journaling sessions to re ect. With a variety of ages and backgrounds, the group members are working towards goals related to tness, nutrition and nding purpose in life.
Learn more about the group at https://www.meetup. com/denver-healthy-habits-accountability-group/.
So far, Preizler said his favorite part of the group has been getting the chance to help people, hearing their challenges and nding a community of people who understand and encourage self-improvement.

Music in 2024 reflected a challenging year
To say 2024 was a year with a lot of ups and downs would be an understatement. A constant slew of unprecedented events kept everyone feeling on edge and I have a feeling that this unsettled sense is going to continue for a while.
It was di cult to keep up with the music world while so much was going on (unless you’re one of the pop stars who ruled the year). To help with that, I gathered ve of my favorite releases that may have slipped by you. I hope you nd something to excite you and comfort you as we head into a new year.
Blackstarkids — ‘Saturn Dayz/Heaven on Urf’
Describing a group like Blackstarkids is a tricky proposition. eir list of in uences is so wide-ranging that naming everything doesn’t do the project justice, but su ce to say they take elements of soul, funk and hip-hop and mash it together with synth pop, indie rock and pop-punk. It’s a heady brew, but the group make music that is often so beautiful, it takes your breath away.
For their last release as a band, Blackstarkids created a two-part concept album about a young woman making her way through the afterlife. Whether or not you want to invest in that side of the storytelling is up to you, but the songs they make are undeniable. Utterly gorgeous, infectious and full of the kind of pure joy we could use more of. It’s a shame it’s their nal release, but the group goes out on the highest of notes.
Bonny Light Horseman — ‘Keep Me on Your Mind/See You Free’ Bonny Light Horseman is a collabo-
COMING ATTRACTIONS
ration between Anaïs Mitchell, Eric D. Johnson and Josh Kaufman, all three of whom have deep experience blending folk sensibilities with pop, rock and any other number of genres. eir third album might be their strongest yet, a sprawling sonic exploration of the many directions and subjects modern folk can encapsulate.
e album’s 20-track total may seem excessive, but the cumulative e ect is one of pure pleasure, as the trio of Mitchell, Johnson and Kaufman discover new and catchy ways to tell their stories. ere’s something for almost everyone to dig into — more traditional numbers and others that get under your skin and stay there. “Keep Me…” is an album to immersive yourself in — you won’t regret it.
Liana Flores — ‘Flower of the soul’
“Flower of the soul,’ the debut fulllength from British-Brazilian singer/ songwriter Liana Flores, may well be the prettiest album of the year. It brings to mind the work of legendary jazz vocalist Astrud Gilberto, but while there certainly is a jazz element to the music, Flores leans more on the acoustic side of things, creating a sound that is both lush and slightly minimalist.
Flores’ music is so lovely you’d be forgiven for slotting it in as background music, but that would do a disservice to her songwriting ability. Songs like “I
Wish for the Rain” sound like they were transported out of the 1960’s, but still manage to feel fresh, instead of just a rip-o . e resulting album transports the listener to warmer climes and times — it’s a free plane ticket to a place where you can just relax and vibe.
Japandroids – ‘Fate & Alcohol’ Sometimes, a band just knows when it’s time to go. As a fan, I’d rather see a group go out on their own terms than dissolve into ghting and bitterness. So even though I’ll miss them, “Fate & Alcohol” is a tting send o to Japandroids, the Vancouver duo of Brian King and David Prowse.
e band’s fourth and nal album is particularly special because it completes the arc the group have been on since their debut. Japandroids has always tra cked in anthemic, sing-along style guitar rock (hitting the zenith on their immortal second album, “Celebration Rock”), and that remains present here. But the lyrics are no longer driven by an unquenchable urge to spend the whole night drinking with friends. It’s more about nding peace and moving forward into whatever comes next.
ABOUT LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Heading into a new year, that’s a lesson we could all do well to learn.
Soccer Mommy — ‘Evergreen’
Over the course of her career, Sophie Allison (who records under the name Soccer Mommy) has perfected a blend of 90s grunge and indie rock with an appreciation of generational pop gures, like Avril Lavigne and Taylor Swift. On her fourth album, “Evergreen,” she digs even deeper, coming up with an album that is stunning in its beauty and lyricism.
Written after what Allison said was a period of “profound and personal loss,” the album feels richer and more sonically exploratory than anything she’s done before. “Evergreen’s” musical palatte features more acoustic and string elements, which she uses to paint pictures of vulnerability and hope. Songs like “Some Sunny Day” and “Dreaming of Falling” just wrap you up and stick with you longer after they’re done. e whole album is a testament to the challenges we all face and inner strength to move forward.

Colorado cyclist returns from 5-year trip around the globe
Ted Eliason details circumnavigating the world on his bicycle
BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMNMUNITYMEDIA.COM
After over ve years pedaling across 56 countries spanning ve continents, Ted Eliason is back in time for the holidays and enjoying the creature comforts of his Westminster home.
On Dec. 14, Eliason, 57, turned the nal corner of his neighborhood bordering Westminster and Arvada on his Surly bike to return at last to his wife, Kendra, and the welcome sight of his friends, family and food he’d missed for a half-decade.
It only took 51,164 miles and 1,379 days.
Eliason had always planned to climb the Himalayas. To prepare for this bucket-list goal, he moved to Colorado in 1999 with the idea of using the Front Range as a training ground for tackling the tallest peaks in the world. He and Kendra had lived a life together of rock climbing, ice climbing, mountain climbing and all sorts of mountaineering adventures (including summiting all of Colorado’s 14ers), from the Rockies to the Alps to the Andes and in Canada.
But one day a mountaineering accident broke Eliason’s foot. To help in his recovery, he took up cycling, but could never have guessed the places it would take him.
“I had started watching people on Instagram doing this kind of cycling, and realized the money that I would spend on one guided peak in the Himalayas was enough to fund me for about three years on a bicycle instead,” Eliason said. “And so I sort of changed my lifetime goal at the last minute. Instead of taking three months with a 50% chance of success at one mountain, how about we take three years and try to go through 50 countries around the world in one trip? And so I was at a point in my life where I decided, if I’m ever going to take a shot at this, this is when I need to do it.”
Part I: Hitting the open road … and quick roadblocks
After weeks of planning and plotting, he set out on his expedition in 2019, pulling his loaded-up bike out of his garage to trek across the country to Newfoundland, stopping during nights to set up camp and nd at ground for his tent. In the beginning, it was easy to overthink, and to overdo just about everything, he said.
“Absolutely there were a lot of doubts,” Eliason said. “I started by over-planning, over-gearing, over-spending. And it’s funny. e longer that I’ve been doing this, the more my executive
He rode his momentum down to Providence, Rhode Island, where he’d y across the pond to start his European stint. After landing in Dublin, Eliason powered up to Scotland before turning south for Brindisi, Italy, to wind around the Alps to the east.
A ferry took him to Greece, where he biked east through Croatia to the Danube River.
Following the ancient waterway from Serbia to Bulgaria, Eliason quickly learned that this trip wouldn’t be possible in just three years. e COVID-19 pandemic would halt his journey and the world over.
for the Turkish border to open,
Discouraged and antsy, Eliason reluctantly made for the So a International Airport, ashing his passport to guards through highway checkpoints and nally being let through.
Getting home was an expensive roadblock in his journey, costing him both his nances and his time.
Upon his return, Eliason quickly discovered (unsurprisingly) that he wasn’t satis ed sitting around waiting for the Earth to reopen. Before he knew it, he was back on the bike.
So the learning
“I missed the Turkish border from Bulgaria by a day,” Eliason said. “ I got to Bulgaria, and then basically the whole country just locked down. Which, you know, if you’re going to get stuck, Bulgaria is a good place. It’s the least expensive country in the EU. I had a very comfortable one-bedroom apartment on the Black Sea. I wound up staying there for three months waiting
“When I got home, I wasn’t ready to stop,” he said. “My wife suggested I bike out to Oregon and see my brother, and I had always wanted to do the West Coast bicycle route down Highway 1. My COVID loop was up to Glacier, over to the U.S.-Canada border, down the West Coast to Tijuana. And back at that point, I was in California spending $8 on a box of Triscuits, and just was like, this is not the priority for spending. So I went home, and I kind of rotted for a year and a half and waited.”

Part II: Getting back in the saddle
By April of 2022, Eliason nally felt borders had opened enough to pick back up where he left o . But this time, Kendra was coming along, if only for a bit.
e adventurers went back to Greece for Round Two. ey enjoyed parts of Greece and Turkey together for two weeks before Kendra returned to the U.S. and sent him o for Central Asia. A bus took her to the airport in Istanbul.
As for Eliason, he made it into Turkey this time and followed a path across Georgia and Central Asia to the Chinese border.
Rather than go through China, which was still closed due to the pandemic, he traveled to Almaty, Kazakhstan, to y rst to Dehli, India, before connecting to Leh, one of the northernmost points of India and a key historical trade point also known for stunning views and cultural signi cance.
After enjoying a week of backpacking in the area, Eliason continued his journey down the west coast of India around the peninsula to Chennai on the eastern side. Kendra ew to meet him again in Bangkok in January 2023.
All the way from Bangkok to Nha Trang, Vietnam, the two cycled across Cambodia together for ve weeks. It was an experience the two will relish forever and was the favorite stint of the long journey for both riders.
“South Asia was freaking amazing. I would go back,” Kendra said. “ ere’s not many places I would say I would go back. e riding was so amazing. ere’s always a huge shoulder (to bike on), and they’re all on two wheels. You’d see families of six on one motorcycle. It was so crazy exhilarating to go through South Vietnam. e tra c was just insane. We had kids chasing us and cheering us on (and) little kids racing us on bicycles. It was like a bicycle culture.”
From there, Kendra went home while Eliason looped up through Vietnam solo to the Chinese border before wrapping around Laos to get to ailand. He moved south through Malaysia before hopping over to Indonesia to bike from Java to Bali, concluding the Asian stint of his journey.
Another ight took him to Australia, where he’d trek across the outback from Perth all the way to Sydney before taking to New Zealand. While this portion of his trip was undoubtedly beautiful, Eliason said Australia and New Zealand, much like the U.S., can be di cult to navigate.
“ e U.S. and Canada together, as well as Australia and New Zealand, are geared around cars, and how you travel through them is just very di erent from how you travel in the rest of the world,” Eliason said. “ e rest of the world is, in general, much easier. I mean, there are towns everywhere, there’s food everywhere (and) it’s more a ordable.” ere would be long stretches of highway between cities or towns that would make him push harder to reach a food source, or often camp for the night and survive on what he already had on his person.
After ve weeks in New Zealand, it was time to go back to the Americas.
Part III: Back to the Americas
Landing in Santiago, Chile, the nal stretch up South America back to Colorado was underway. But rst, he’d loop down the Carretera Austral highway to Ushuaia, Argentina, dubbed the “end of
the world” at the southernmost point of South America on the Tierra del Fuego archipelago.
Most of 2023 had passed since Eliason had seen Kendra. But she decided to y south for the winter in December to explore ve South American countries with him.
ey met in Calafate to cycle through Argentina, Uruguay, Rio Grande Do Sol Brazil, Paraguay and nally Bolivia to La Paz where she ew home again ve months after she’d arrived.
us began the last leg of his transcontinental journey. It began with Peru, which Eliason said was the beginning of his travel burnout.
“Peru was absolutely the most di cult for me,” Eliason said. “ e Himalayas are easier because the roads are like the Front Range — like (here). In Peru, they are not. ey are up and over repeatedly. So you’re doing 3,000-meter climbs, which can take two days, and then going down and doing it again. It’s very safe.
e people are very nice. e dogs are a bit aggressive. But getting through the Peruvian Andes for me was just really, really grueling.”
He continued up through Ecuador and Colombia before taking a sailboat to Panama. Central America took him through Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala before he broke through to Mexico.
e American Southwest was beckoning, and Eliason was anxious to chase it. He longed for his wife, his bed and some Taco Bell.
He nally broke through to Arizona, riding the desert up to Utah and cutting across to Colorado. Just a week from home, a snowstorm would hit Colorado, delaying his nal homecoming. He camped in Parker before making his way to Denver, stopping at the REI at Con uence Park downtown.
Local cyclists and friends joined him there to make the nal stretch back to his Westminster garage. Eliason was welcomed home with a party, a makeshift “ nish line” to break through, and lots of food he’d been missing.
After six sets of tires, countless ats, seven broken chains, eight sets of brake pads, over 20 spokes, four rim/wheel repairs, ve pairs of pedals, 3½ saddles and over 10 ights, he pulled into the garage he’d embarked from ve years ago.
Dismounting from his trusty Surly Disc Trucker, he fell into the arms of his wife while friends and family cheered, ready to celebrate his return. It was sunny and 50 degrees, and for the rst time, Eliason didn’t have to set up camp or worry about what tomorrow’s road would bring.
“ ere’s far, far less to fear about most countries in the world than I ever expected,” Eliason said, re ecting on a lifechanging journey. “ e vast majority of countries will greet a foreign traveler on a bicycle, even an American traveler, like a long-lost relative. I mean, people are just generally good, curious, kind, hospitable people.”

State tax panel suggests renter relief for 2025
Previous policy changes have benefited homeowners
BY SARA WILSON COLORADO NEWSLINE
A Colorado commission on property tax policy wants lawmakers to consider tax relief to low-income renters next session, following years of policy changes aimed at helping homeowners.
e bipartisan commission, created during a 2023 special session on property taxes and made up of four lawmakers and local government o cials, approved three recommendations recently for the Legislature to consider next year. e recommendations, unlike interim bills considered by committees between sessions, are not binding or attached to any lawmaker.
e commission wants the Legislature to provide tax relief to low-income renters, though it did not de ne “low-income,” as it could vary based on city, and it suggested two methods of relief: an income tax credit for quali ed renters and a modi cation of the state’s Property Tax, Rent, Heat (PTC) Rebate program.
e PTC rebate is currently available to older or disabled Coloradans who pay property tax, rent or heating bills and make less than a certain income. In 2023, that threshold was about $18,000. e rebate amount can be up to $1,112 per year.
e commission’s recommendation is to modify the income eligibility requirements and amount of the bene t.
ere were a record number of evictions in Denver this year, and Colorado renters increasingly spend more than one-third of their income on rent.
e commission voted against a recommendation to give landlords a tax credit if they have a ordable units, with the idea that landlords would then pass savings to their renters.
“I don’t necessarily believe that adequate relief will then be passed down to renters in the way that we expect it to. If we’re looking at how to speci cally support our renters, then we should focus and target the relief directly to the renters and not to the landlords,” Democratic Rep. Lorena Garcia, an Adams County Democrat, said.
e commission also voted to recommend to lawmakers to make permanent the portability of valuation adjustments for senior homeowners. Certain senior homeowners can now chop o part of the value of their home used to calculate property taxes if they have lived there for 10 years. A two-year pilot program lets the homeowner bring the adjustment with them if they move. Permanent portability has support among legislative leaders, but a tight budget year could make it di cult to pass.
“Even though it is not a huge bene t to seniors, it is one of the largest — that
I have encountered —- stopping points from people downsizing into a smaller home, because they feel that they’re losing out on this bene t,” real estate agent and commission member Sean Dougherty said.
Republican Rep. Lisa Frizell said that even though the budget could make such a policy challenging to pass, it is important for the commission to be on record that portability is a priority.
Finally, the commission recommended that the Legislature increase awareness
of existing exemptions and a property tax deferral program, though it was not speci c about how to do so.
Members voted down a recommendation to allow counties to o er quarterly property tax payments.
e Colorado Legislature reconvenes on Jan. 8. e property tax commission will meet through June. is story is from Colorado Newsline. Used by permission. For more, and to support the news organization, visit coloradonewsline.com.
